But there are chinks in his armor, holes in his story full of people and faces and things.

Wow, this was intense. It's a harsh but lovely unpacking of Nathan's character and I really liked your unique way of expressing his connections to Peter, especially (and also Claire and his kids and Angela).

And it’s strange the way they fit together. Or more like the way they don’t really because their edges are sharp and jagged and they will keep cutting each other, over and over and over, rough tear of scrapes and bruises brought to the surface, a cycle reborn completely

Sigh. Excellent writing. *counteracts sadness with baby Pasdar icon*

Thank you so much! :) I originally started out writing this with just a focus on Nathan's relationship with Peter in mind and ended up adding everyone else in later when I decided otherwise. I'm really glad it flowed naturally to you and that you liked those parts as well.

EEEEEE. ♥ Okay, that is the awesomest icon on LJ. PERIOD. I think we should all have baby Pasdars of our own to keep in our pockets.

Baby pocket pasdars for everyone would be so useful! There would be no more war ever. He'd just wear weird clothes and make everyone happy.

PS, I hope this isn't out of line for me to say but the small lightish-gray text on white background is kind of hard to read. I had to switch to black/white style to read the fic (and I'm so glad I did, it was wonderful). I just wanted to mention it.

And awesome hair - don't forget the awesome hair, that part's important. ;) Hehe, exactly - Baby pocket Pasdars will bring world peace, whooo! \o/

Hey, not out of line at all. :) It is strange though, since for me, the text shows up pretty dark. Huh. I guess it's the same for the comments, too, right? Maybe the colours show up different on my computer or something? Or maybe it's just LJ screwing with me; it does seem to enjoy doing that. *sigh* I guess I should ask around and see if I'm the only one. Thanks so much for the heads up!

[anansie_s]

Yes the hair! And the beard :) And when he can't have awesome hair he's generous enough to put on a flattering durag. ;)

Yeah, the comments are an even lighter gray and in a tinier font than the rest. LJ is weird that way, though, I know that sometimes it looks different on other screens.

AAAAHHHH WHAT IS THAT ICON OMG. I will now see princess Peter/Milo whenever I close my eyes. XD

lol, oh Adrian and his um, unique fashion sense. *pets him*

Thanks for the info. :) I'll have to conduct a very serious ~investigation~ about all of this.
